They seemed so perfect for each other, but all things come to an end, which is why the world is such a cold, desolate place.

“We are sad to announce we are legally separating,” the actors shared. “We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed. Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward. We still have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”

This civil separation announcement comes as a surprise to the couple’s millions of fans.

“I know it’s ridiculous to care about a relationship involving two people you’ve never met,” wrote Brandon Katz in response to Pratt’s post. “I know it’s crazy how much society today value celebrities and their lives. But I honestly am saddened to hear this just because they seemed so perfect for each other.”

Different Views

So, why are the actors calling it quits? TMZclaims to have a source who essentially told them Pratt and Faris “split because they each have very different views of what a family should be.”

“[TMZ‘s] sources say Anna wants a family that is pretty much together most of the time. She wants a base … which for her has been Los Angeles. We’re told she wants more kids. The upshot … Anna wants a traditional family.

“Chris, on the other hand, has had some life-changing experiences that has required him to adjust the balance between family and career.”

How Will We Survive?

Obviously a lot of people are going to have a hard time getting over this split. Perhaps the only way to get through this is through grace of GIFs.
